1 Ruhanga butafubira bantu baa Ni̱neeva, kyasaali̱i̱ze hoi̱ Yona, yaakwatwa ki̱ni̱ga. 2 Yaasaba nakuuduumira Mukama, nakoba yati, “Tikyokyo nyaakobi̱ri̱ nincakali mu nsi gya kwamwetu̱? Kiki kyokyo kinyakubba ki̱mpeeri̱ kwi̱ru̱ki̱ra Tarasi̱i̱si̱. Nyeegi̱ri̱ nka kwoli Ruhanga alumirwa bantu kandi nobagiira mbabazi̱; ataranguha kukwatwa ki̱ni̱ga kandi ei̱zwi̱ri̱ ngonzi, aleka kuleeta kabii. 3 Nku̱kwesengereerya Mukama, leka nkwe; kubba gya ku̱kwa, kikunkiira kubba mwomi.”
4 Mwomwo Mukama yaamu̱bu̱u̱lya, “Kikudwa we kukwatwa ki̱ni̱ga?”
5 Yona yo, yaaruga mu rub̯uga lu̱lwo, yaagyenda buhuluka lyoba wa lwo, yeicaara. Ku̱kwo, Yona yeebi̱mbi̱i̱ri̱yo kasi̱i̱si̱ra, yeicaara mu mu̱tu̱ntu̱lu̱ gwako ali̱ndi̱ri̱ kuwona kyani kyabbaho ha rub̯uga lwa Ni̱neeva. 6 Mukama Ruhanga, yaateereeri̱ho Yona kimera kikulanda. Kyahanda kyadwa hakyendi̱ waamwe kumuleetera mu̱tu̱ntu̱lu̱ ku mu̱twe gwamwe, aleke yeezegwe nali kurungi. Mwomwo Yona yaasemereerwa hoi̱ hab̯wa kimera ki̱kyo.
7 Bei̱tu̱ mwakya gunyakuhonderaho, Ruhanga yaaragi̱i̱ri̱ ki̱si̱i̱sa kyadya kimera ki̱kyo, ku̱doosya bu̱kyomi̱ri̱.
8 Lyoba bu̱lyasu̱u̱ki̱ri̱, Ruhanga yaaragi̱ra mpehu gihyo gya buhuluka lyoba gihunge magyenda hali Yona. Lyoba lyokya Yona ku mu̱twe, ku̱doosya bu̱yaagwerekereeri̱ kandi yeesabira ku̱kwa, nakoba yati, “Gya kubba mwomi, hakiri nkwa.”
9 Mwomwo Ruhanga yaab̯u̱u̱lya Yona, “Mali̱, kikudwa we kuzingala, hab̯wa ki̱kyo kimera kwoma?” Yona yei̱ramu, “Mali̱ kikudwa gya kuzingala. Ki̱ni̱ga ki̱nzakalaseeni̱, nyaakendya kadi nkwe.”
10 Mwomwo Mukama yaakoba, “Okurumirirwa kimera kwoma, we kyotakolereeri̱, kandi kyotasi̱mbi̱ri̱, kinyakuhanda mu kiro ki̱mwei̱ kandi kyahwerekeera mu kiro ki̱mwei̱. 11 Bei̱tu̱ gya, hab̯waki ntarumirirwa kuhwerekeera kwa rub̯uga lwa Ni̱neeva lulimwo baana batali na ki̱beegi̱ri̱, bakukira ha mitwaru i̱ku̱mi̱ na mibiri hamwenya na bisolo binene?”
